Instructions

In a jug, mix 185 ml Warm water, 0.5 teaspoon Sugar and 0.5 teaspoon Dried yeast and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Add 0.5 tablespoon Olive oil, 0.5 tablespoon Honey and 1 pinch Sea salt. Whisk well.
Put 200 g Whole wheat flour into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the middle.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the middle of the well, pulling the flour into the centre with a fork. Continue until the liquid is all in with the flour. Mix well until you have a dough ball.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes.
Place the dough ball in a lightly oiled bowl. Turn the dough so that it is coated thinly with oil.
Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and leave in a warm place for around an hour so it can rise (it should double in size).
Remove the dough and knead again for 5 minutes. Divide the dough into 2 pieces, and either freeze or use immediately.

Notes

If the yeast doesn't dissolve, your yeast is expired. Start again with active yeast.
Make sure the water is warm (45°C/115°F max). If it is too hot, it will render the yeast unusable.
Add a tablespoon of honey to the dough mixture for a really lovely flavour.
To get a really crispy cooked pizza base, use a ceramic pizza stone.
